oil sub for rear
You ought to keep posting your questions under one topic instead of starting a new topic every time.
Packardbell - have you bothered to read your owners manual yet? It says Mobil 424 - there are no substitutes. That should say it all. Your dealer is stupid; find another. If for some reason you can't find Mobil 424 or a Kawi dealer with the right Kawachem, go to a tractor supply store and tell them what you're looking for. They probably have a sub for Mobil 424.
As far as the 80w90 harming anything, if you have ever driven a 650 at speed for any amount of time and then touched the rear gear housing, you will find that it's extremely hot. And that's with the water thin Mobil 424 in it! How hot do you think it will get with 80w90 trying to work it's way between the braking plates. It could damage the braking plates and other related hardware. The 80w90 will also break down from the heat and there goes your bearings. But it's your money, do what you want, I don't think there is anymore information that we can come up with that will change your mind. Let us know if you decide to pour out that molasses and put in the right stuff. If you leave in the 80w90, let us know how much the repair bill is in a week, month, year? Don't know when, but it will happen.

oil sub for rear
Hey guys. I found this topic rather interesting and upon some further research (i had nothing else to do, lol) , i found that Amsoil also produces a hydrualic oil that meets the same manufactures specs as mobil424. If anyone else is interested here are the links to mobil and amsoil sights that list the specs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Mobil 424 is a transmission/differential/wet brake fluid and if memory serves me well it cross references to a John Deere J20 type fluid. I checked in on it and it was about the same price as the 424, so I just bought 5 gal. of the 424 for about $30 and split it with a guy @ work that has a 650. Any bulk oil dealler can cross reference it for you. Or go to a heavy machinery dealler like Catepillar thats where I got mine.
